AMAD DIALLO'S loan stint at Rangers can be just what the winger needs to kick on and challenge for a first-team place at Old Trafford - just like David Beckham did at Preston North End.
That's the opinion of former Manchester United full-back Paul Parker, who expects Diallo to gain a grounding in the men's game during his time in Scotland.
As a teenager, Beckham was shipped out to Preston on a temporary move to get some first-team football under his belt before breaking into the United first team.
And Parker reckons Diallo will be oping to follow suit - provided his spell in Scotland doesn't break him.
“It [Diallo's loan] should in theory, like it did to David Beckham when he went out on loan to Preston North End, bring him back, hopefully for United's sense, a better player," Parker told BonusCodeBets. "Not just in his abilities, but in his headspace as well.
"Manchester United is white tablecloth stuff, and he has gone now to a chequered table. He's going to have it tough.
“He's going to a big club as well, that knows how to treat their players and bring them up with the right people skills. I think it's a good move for him to go there. I think it's a really good test, and a lot more clubs should do that.
"They sent him out to learn to be competitive and play.
“Rangers is a really good club for Diallo to go to and really get to understand British football. Because what he has gone to is real old-school British football. So it'll make him or break him.
“That technical ability that he's got will be tested. Because the teams [in Scotland], will be flying in. Tackles are going to be strong, his quick feet are going to be tested properly rather than in training games.
"It's going to test him mentally. Can he deal with the weather and some of the conditions of the pitches?”
